If you're trying to stick to a healthy diet, fish can be a good option, as fish are high in protein and low in saturated fat. Apart from this, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, and many other nutrients are found in it. However, what we are going to tell now may shock people who are fond of eating fish. Now the fish are also getting poisoned. In a joint study by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Food and Drug Administration of America, it was found that the water of lakes and rivers has become highly polluted, due to which the fish living in it are now becoming poisonous. It was claimed in the study that 278 times forever chemical has been found in freshwater fishes, which can cause serious diseases.
What is Forever Chemical?
Forever chemical is also known as a per-and-polyfluoroalkyl substance. This is the chemical that is commonly used in water-resistant clothes like umbrellas, raincoats, mobile covers, etc. This chemical has a direct effect on hormones and growth, due to which problems like thyroid and bad cholesterol occur. Due to Forever Chemical, women get a miscarriage or their delivery is premature, due to which the body and mind of their children do not develop properly. In 2017, the International Agency for Research on Cancer called PFOA a human carcinogen, which means that there is a risk of cancer (kidney and testis cancer).
Got thousands of times chemical
After 3 years of research in the rivers and lakes of America, it has been found that this chemical has started getting 2,400 times more in animals. For example, if you eat fish once a month, then understand that you are drinking water full of bacteria and other germs throughout the month. This pattern has been found in not just one but 48 states of America.
